Notes

In the Sacred Calendar a year begins in spring with the Passover
month of Abib (Exodus 12:2, 13:4). Abib is also known as
Nisan. Ethanim the seventh month is also known as Tishri. The 4th and 5th
month names (Tammuz and Ab) are not found in the Scriptures. In leap years
the twelfth month is called Adar 1 and the thirteenth month is
called Adar 2. Months in the Sacred Calendar begin with a
first- sighting of the new moon from the stand-point of Jerusalem. So
the above dates will differ from the new moon dates shown in many pocket
diaries. Diary dates are those of a conjunction (the astronomical
new moon), which occurs a day or more before a first sighting. In this
chart, the new moon is likely to be seen on the evening prior to the given
date. For example, in 1993 Abib's new moon was expected to become visible on the
evening of Wednesday 24th March, making Thursday 25th March 1993 the 1st
Abib. This and the next Chart will help you keep track of the beginnings of months for years to come.

Every seventh day of the week (Saturday) is a Sabbath; a sacred
rest-day which, according to the Ten Commandments, all mankind is
required to keep in honour of the Creator (Exodus 20:8-11, Isaiah
58:13-14, Hebrews 4:9-11). The Sabbath begins at sunset on Friday evening
and ends at sunset on Saturday evening.

In addition to the weekly sabbath there are seven other holydays in the
Sacred Calendar which should be observed as Sabbath days (Leviticus chapter
23). The chart above lists these (Feast and Fast) dates for the coming
years.

Together with the weekly Sabbath of Saturday, the annual Sabbaths
constitute the unchanging Sign or Signature of YAHWEH, the
Almighty God of Israel (Exodus 20:12&20, Exodus 31:13-18).

When Yahweh's Sabbaths are observed by a believer, they signal
to the universe that here is a special worshipper of the Almighty: a
believer in whose mind God has full permission to place His Law, His Seal,
His Signature and His Name (Isaiah 8:16, Deuteronomy 6:4-8, Hebrews 8:8-10,
Revelation 7:1-4).
